Seton Homeschooling! Homeschooling, to us, is a mental state and a way of life. Whether or not a child is sent to a public learning institution, their home should always be a place where they learn from the people who love them the most.
Our curriculum consists of Art & Music, Handwriting, Literacy, Mathematics, Physical Education, and Religion. I am adding Science & History as well because my preschooler absolutely LOVES these subjects, especially science.
Everyday is a science experiment with these two boys, but we completed our first "official" project in our science journal yesterday- The Life Cycle of a Butterfly. We caught several hungry caterpillars, watched them turn into a chrysalis one at a time, and waited patiently for 11 days. Yesterday our first butterfly emerged- a beautiful Black Swallowtail Butterfly! He was pretty sad when it flew away, but it's all a lesson in life.
